      Not to worry about the bushings... Edlund is using oil-lite material that supersedes what the Mo-Co used some 80 years ago...
      If your in mind of adding the zert fittings like the OG had, I'm sure it might be a bit overkill on his frames ..... But what the hay, go for it..
      You do have a lifetime warranty on that frame, so when those bushing do ware out.... Give us a yell

      One other thing.....
      If your going to run a skid-plate, yo'll need to drill the two 5/16" holes in the seat post lower gusset plate..

        And another thing...

        When I assembled the front end, the tins that go on the triple trees and make up the headlight nacelle did not line up by almost 1/4”...shocking yes I know....

        After much web search it appears that my Vtwin 52 replica kit came with 1960 and up neck cups...which are thicker than the 49-59 that are required....

        Well, when I returned the Vtwin frame I left the neck cups in it....and found a company that makes the correct ones for proper tin alignment





        I have a set on the way and Nuklhead here on the forums sent me races/bearings.

        Hey Tattoo you should go to work for Tedd as quality control supervisor....I think you’d bring a flamethrower on your 1st day and that would be it hahahaha

          LOL yep that would be the only way to fix VTwin.... Or better yet do what I did, stop buying any parts from them until they fixed there shitty fitting parts... I haven't bought anything from they in years.... There shit is junk if they make it...

              Fixed your post. We all know that redneck engineering can't really be done right without "wobbly pops"

              Thread crapping aside, that's a really good looking Repro frame
